      "summary": "The Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept\nand\nObstruct Terrorism (USA PATRIOT) Act,  P.L. 107-56 , is part of the Congressional response to\nSeptember 11. It is the merger of two similar bills.  S. 1510  passed the Senate on\nOctober 11, 147  Cong.Rec.  S10604, and  H.R. 2975  passed the House on October\n12\nafter substituting the language of  H.R. 3108  for its text, 147  Cong.Rec.  H6775. \nHaving\ninformally resolved their differences, the House enacted the measure in final form on October 24,\n147  Cong.Rec.  H7282, and the Senate on October 25, 147  Cong.Rec. \nS11059.\n  The Act consists of ten titles which, among other things:\n  \u00bf give federal law enforcement and intelligence officers greater authority (at least temporarily)\nto gather and share evidence particularly with respect to wire and electronic communications;\n  \u00bf amend federal money laundering laws, particularly those involving overseas financial\nactivities;\n  \u00bf create new federal crimes, increase the penalties for existing federal crimes, and adjust\nexisting federal criminal procedure, particularly with respect to acts of terrorism;\n  \u00bf modify immigration law, increasing the ability of federal authorities to prevent foreign\nterrorists from entering the U.S., to detain foreign terrorist suspects, to deport foreign terrorists,\nand to mitigate the adverse immigration consequences for the foreign victims of September 11;\nand\n  \u00bf authorize appropriations to enhance the capacity of immigration, law enforcement, and\nintelligence agencies to more effectively respond to the threats of terrorism.\n  Several proposals, offered while the Act was under consideration, were not among the\nprovisions ultimately enacted,  e.g. , revision of the McDade-Murtha Amendment\n(relating to the\napplication of professional conduct standards to federal prosecutors), measures to combat illegal\nInternet gambling, and are thus beyond the scope of this report.",
